I propose to create a wiki page for features people think they might want in SPFv3 - like the Feature list for the Fedora project. Each feature would have its own page, with a name, summary, description, justification, use cases, etc.

+1

I keep meaning to write up a new RFC with all the new features, but that is more daunting. I think debating the merits of each feature independently until there is consensus on the feature list will greatly help with creating the next RFC version.

Who has the original XML for v1? Obviously, starting from scratch requires more work.

I do have write permission on the Wiki, but I'll create an index page and pages for my favorite v3 features (helo and not) in the public portion first to try out the idea. Note that "you can do it in v1" is not a reason to exclude a feature if the feature does it in a simpler fashion or with less DNS bytes and has use cases that are likely to be popular.

I don't have write permissions, except for the community pages. Keeping the list on the community pages will allow more participation.

BTW, v3 should use SPF (type 99) RRs exclusively. That is non-optional I think. A typical library would check for SPFv3 as SPF, and fall back to checking for SPFv1 as TXT. There is still likely to be a chicken and egg problem with v3 adoption - but unlike using SPF instead of TXT for the same old v1 RRs, there is no downside to putting v3 in SPF RRs only.

I agree; however, that is a feature itself and deserves its own page.
